Former Kisauni MP Rashid Bedzimba has said that he is contemplating appealing the High court ruling that upheld Ali Mbogo’s victory in last year’s general election.
Addressing supporters in Kisauni town on Monday, the ODM ex-MP said that he was not satisfied with the ruling.
Bedzimba, a close ally of Governor Hassan Joho urged his supporters to remain calm as he calculates his next course of action.
“Let's us remain united and calm as we seek ways of ensuring that justice is rendered for our stolen victory,” he told supporters.
Bedzimba maintained that he won the August 8, 2017 general election and that the IEBC erred in declaring Mbogo the winner.
On Monday, High court judge Erick Ogolla upheld Mbogo’s victory, dismissing Bedzimba’s petition.
Justice Ogolla ruled that Bedzimba’s petition was too weak to warrant nullification.
He ruled that the former MP failed to provide evidence to back up his allegations of voter bribery, violence an intimidation in the election.
The former ODM MP was sapped with Sh2.5 Million fine as the cost of the petition.
While welcoming the High court ruling, Mbogo urged Bedzimba to work with him.
The Wiper party politician said that he has no ill feelings against Bedzimba adding that they need to partner for the sake of development.
